Looking at the map, because the entire boundary is not a straight line, the encroachment of the Kneecap Desert into the inland areas varies in intensity, creating an interlocked and tortuous border. Here, Ancient Lop is relatively deep into the desert with thousands of miles in width, named after the ruins of a human city that once existed there.
Ancient Lop was a desert ancient state, but with the exhaustion of water sources, severe desertification, and the rampant spread of undead creatures, this ancient state eventually disappeared into the long river of history. Humans gradually relocated inward, intermarrying and proliferating with other ethnic groups over this process, and now the term "people of Loulan" has long since ceased to exist, having become the descendants of nations like Qin and Yue.
The Shan Sect Quanzhen was in charge of guarding the once vast territories of the ancient state of Loulan and existed as a barrier for the Northwest Region's humanity.
